I did a search of the boost directory, and only a vc7-tools.jam, no vc7.1-tools.jam. I think that there is no jam file for vc7.1 in boost 1.29

Why subject configuration still failing on min/max according to Linux regression? Gennadiy.

Patch for Boost.Threads

Dear Boosters, I found that the recent changes made on libs/thread/src/exceptions.cpp break the SGI MIPSpro compiler. Could somebody apply the following patch? Thank you in advance.

Hi all, anyone know if the boost library is available for Green Hills C++ compiler ? I need to port an application that use the boost library on a Integrity RTOS ( that use that compiler ). Regards Gaetano Mendola

RE:RE: RE: [boost] Does anyone have an is_virtual_base_and_derived ?
by Robert Ramey 08 Jul '04

I'm beginning to see that now. In my test case the situation has been much confused by the fact that b1 has/didn't have a virtual destructor which in turn makes it possible/impossible. Oh and running on different compilers in debug/release mode changed behavior as well which left me totally confused. So I'm working through my confusion. >> > I wrote that very thing a year or so ago for the purpose of >> testing if a >> > base pointer type can be statically downcast to a derived type. >> >> My problem exactly ! >I should warn you that this isn't quite enough information to test for >static downcastability in all cases.

I wanted to move to vc7.1, and that's when I started to have link problems, "unresolved external... function0". I hoped that rebuilding 1.29 in vc7.1 would take care of the problem. I'm getting ready to try the api with 1.31. We'll see. Any thoughts would be arreciated. Thanks, Brian

It suggests formatted insertion rather than > initialization. It's not intended to be initialisation. It does a push_back(), so you can do it at any time and not just on empty vectors. I guess I'd pick a different name for the library, but as written that includes += so it too is not just for initialisation. As I said, I don't think formatting is an essential characteristic of operator<<(). It happens to be necessary for streams because they are text oriented. The serialisation library uses operator<<() without formatting. > As you point out, conversion is possible, but one can't overload > operator<< to customize the initialization. Why not? vector<Foo> &operator<<( vector<Foo> &v, const Bar &bar ) { return v << bar.toFoo(); // Or whatever conversion you want. } Or whatever the right types are. > Thus, it doesn't fit neatly with IOStreams. It's not polymorphic with them, but I think it fits about as neatly as the serialisation library. -- Dave Harris, Nottingham, UK
